Accessing the system board to install internal options

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

1. Loosen the screws on the back of the system board a quarter turn.

   

2. Lift the front of the scanner unit to open the system board.

   

3. Use the following illustration to locate the appropriate connector.

   Warning—Potential Damage: System board electronic components are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal on the printer before touching any system board electronic components or connectors.

   

   1	Flash memory or firmware card connectors
   2	Fax card connector
   3	Lexmark Internal Solutions Port or printer hard disk connector
   4	Memory card connector

   
   

Installing a memory card

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

An optional memory card can be purchased separately and attached to the system board. To install the memory card:

1. Access the system board.

   

2. Unpack the memory card.

   Note: Avoid touching the connection points along the edge of the card.

3. Open the memory card connector latches.

   

4. Align the notches on the memory card with the ridges in the connector.

   

   1	Notches
   2	Ridges

   
   

5. Push the memory card straight into the connector until it clicks into place.

   Note: After the memory card is installed, make sure the memory card connector latches return to the latched vertical position and are secure against the card.

6. Release the system board access latch, and then close the system board door by lowering the scanner.

7. Push in on the screws while rotating them clockwise a quarter turn to lock the system board into place.

   

Installing a flash memory or firmware card

The system board has two connections for an optional flash memory or firmware card. Only one of each may be installed, but the connectors are interchangeable.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

1. Access the system board.

   

2. Unpack the card.

   Note: Avoid touching any electrical components on the card.

3. Holding the card by its sides, align the plastic pins on the card with the holes on the system board.

   

   1	Plastic pins
   2	Metal pins

   
   

4. Push the card firmly into place.

   

   Notes:

   • The entire length of the connector on the card must touch and be flush against the system board.
   • Be careful not to damage the connectors.

5. Release the latch, and then close the system board door by lowering the scanner.

6. Push in on the screws while rotating them clockwise a quarter turn to lock the system board into place.

   

Installing an Internal Solutions Port

The system board supports one optional Lexmark Internal Solutions Port (ISP). Install an ISP for additional connectivity options.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

1. Access the system board.

   

2. Unpack the ISP and plastic tee.

   Note: Avoid touching the components on the card.

3. Locate the appropriate connector on the system board.

   

   Note: If an optional printer hard disk is currently installed, then the printer hard disk must first be removed. To remove the hard disk:

   1. Unplug the printer hard disk interface cable from the system board, leaving the cable attached to the printer hard disk. To unplug the cable, squeeze the paddle at the plug of the interface cable to disengage the latch before pulling the cable out.

      

   2. Remove the screws holding the printer hard disk in place.

      

   3. Remove the printer hard disk by pulling it upward to unseat the standoffs.

      

   4. Remove the thumbscrews that attach the printer hard disk mounting bracket to the printer hard disk, and then remove the bracket. Set the printer hard disk aside.

      

4. Remove the metal cover from the ISP opening.

   

5. Align the posts of the plastic tee to the holes in the system board, and then press downward until the tee snaps into place. Be sure each post of the tee has latched completely, and that the tee is seated firmly onto the system board.

   

6. Install the ISP onto the plastic tee. Angle the ISP over the plastic tee, and then approach the plastic tee so that any overhanging connectors will pass through the ISP opening in the system board cage.

   

7. Lower the ISP toward the plastic tee until the ISP is seated between the guides of the plastic tee.

   

8. Insert the long thumbscrew, into the hole closest to the white connector, and turn it clockwise enough to hold the ISP in place. Do not tighten the thumbscrew at this time.

   

9. Attach the two provided screws to secure the ISP mounting bracket to the system board cage.

   

10. Tighten the long thumbscrew.

    Note: Do not overtighten the thumbscrew.

11. Insert the plug of the ISP interface cable into the receptacle of the system board.

    Note: The plugs and receptacles are color coded.

    

12. If a printer hard disk was previously installed, then attach the printer hard disk to the ISP. For more information, see Installing a printer hard disk.

13. Release the latch, and then close the system board door by lowering the scanner.

14. Push in on the screws while rotating them clockwise a quarter turn to lock the system board into place.

    

Warning—Potential Damage: Make sure the system board is locked to prevent possible damage to the printer if it is moved.

Installing a printer hard disk

The optional printer hard disk can be installed with or without a Lexmark Internal Solutions Port (ISP).

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing.
